Why is Labor attacking the right to work casually for higher pay?
The new test proposed by the government will create less opportunity for the millions of Australians who choose which shifts they can work and limit their flexibility to make ends meet.
Higher take home pay and the flexibility to work when Australians want could be at risk under the government’s proposed changes to casual work.
One in four Australians choose to be employed as casual workers, a number that hasn’t changed for almost two decades. It is the combination of flexibility and higher pay that makes it such an attractive option.
